Confirmed: Line-up of speakers at Democratic convention is simply terrible

Ace wrote about this yesterday but I didn’t have time to look at the list until now. Go see for yourself. I went through it being as objective as I could about who might be interesting to watch as a young, impressive, highly touted leader of the future in the Rubio, Ryan, Christie, Jindal, Susana Martinez, Rand Paul, Brian Sandoval, Mia Love mold. Out of a list of 75 or so names, here’s what I’ve got — and I’m stretching even on some of these, just so that I’ve got something.

– Cory Booker, who hasn’t held statewide office;
– Julian Castro, who also hasn’t held statewide office but apparently is the best Democrats can do by way of a Rubio-esque Latino political rising star;
– Tammy Baldwin, who’s far left even by the standards of the House Democratic caucus and is highly likely to lose to Tommy Thompson in this year’s Wisconsin Senate race;
– Kamala Harris, the AG of California and certified union stooge, who’ll likely follow Jerry Brown as Democratic administrator of the state’s Greece-like fiscal disintegration

That’s basically it. I’m a little curious to see Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, just because he’s scrapped with Chris Christie a few times. And of course there’s Fauxcahontas, the great liberal hope of the future, who’s already 63 and has run a sufficiently dismal campaign that she’s trailing Scott Brown in the bluest of blue states. Beyond that, it’s nothing but no-names; exhausted party retreads a la Pelosi and Kerry; Charlie Crist and Linc Chafee for comic relief; and a few NARAL/Planned Parenthood types to remind America what’s really important with unemployment still stuck above eight percent. That’s what’s on tap this year from the Party of Youth and Fresh Ideas.

Sounds thrilling. However, we will check in with our cube neighbors, a couple of habitual, hereditary Democrats — you know some, the typical hard-working, live-conservative-vote-to-feel-good-about-themselves garden variety — and request that they be sure to tune in for some clues as to what their party has become and where they want to take the USA. Suggest others do same with the habitual, hereditary Democrats in their lives.

Darn and was hoping Maxine waters,Sheila Jackson lee, Jahhhsseee jack-son, revvvvrand al and cornel west or that dyson character. Love to see millionaire Michael Moore rant about rich evil republicans. Maybe even George clooney to tell us it was all George bush’s fault but i guess ill wait for Teh One to tell us all that. and at the end Brian Williams and andrea mitchell (nbc news washington) can come out with tears in their eyes and ask how can we not re-elect the greatest president ever in the history of the world.

there is no way that both biden and obama on the same night is a possitive. even if obama manages to come off okay with his silver tongue, if they give biden more than 10 minutes; it’s going to hurt them.

thursday is setting up to turn off anyone that was still looking to give obama a chance.

Poor Booker, he is so trying to get back in their filthy graces. He really aught to do what Artur Davis did and come over to the right side. We would welcome him!
When you line uf the gret speakers, and I mean great with their messages as well, it was about “We can do it! My family did, or I did.”
Now line up fluke who is in it because she wants free toys for her sex game.
Imagine all the people struggling to pay for cancer medication and every other life threatening sickness, and she wants the American people to pay for her birth control.
I JUST WANT TO SCREAM AT THE STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN LEFT!

The only way they can control health care costs is to limit population, a la birth control, abortion and infanticide (and if you don’t think we’re on the road, you’re nuts) (and bring in all the illegals) by Americans and have “death panels” for the old. I do’t know how bringing in all the others will limit cost, but it will give them a permanent population who will fall for anything. I mean look at who they elect in Mexico and look at who they vote for here!

Hey Allah, Mark Davis on KSKY 660 AM in Dallas is about to read this post on the air. He’s the top local host for conservative political talk radio in the Metroplex and he’s filled in for Rush a number of times before. Now he fills in for Bill Bennett every Friday.
